"Priest, I am also a faithful follower of the Sky God, please bestow upon an item as well."
The surrounding diners all crowded around. Those who could dine here were influential figures in Mimu City, who, like the restaurant owner, were knowledgeable enough to get excited at the sight of such a fantastic item and started pleading with Xuan Yue.
Xuan Yue stood up and smiled, "Sacred items cannot be distributed widely. As long as you faithfully worship the Sky God, you will definitely receive his blessings. Alright, owner, bill us, please. We have other matters to attend to."
Ah Dai was stunned watching Xuan Yue do all this, not yet understanding her intention, he suddenly got nervous when he heard her asking for the bill.
The owner, who had received the golden spoon, nervously said, "Priest, your presence in our humble restaurant is already an honor, how could we accept money from you? This would be too unreasonable."
Xuan Yue smiled, "That’s not right, even though we are clergy, we still have to pay for our al, we can’t sully the church’s reputation, the Sky God would be upset."
"Not at all. The priest is a representative of the Sky God who has bestowed with a gift. Such a precious gift can’t be compared to these common items. Dear priest, if you give money, the Sky God will surely bla for my avarice. Please take back your order. Having the priest dine with us is the highest honor." Actually, he had known Xuan Yue and Ah Dai were coming, but he didn’t appear because there had been cases where priests didn’t pay for their als and he didn’t feel right asking clergy for paynt. Now that Xuan Yue had requested to see him, it would have been bad not to show up. He assud they wanted to skip out on the bill which is why they had called for him. He didn’t plan on asking for money when he ca out. But who would have thought that the great priest had bestowed an item imbued with sacred aura upon him. His sincere words showed his genuine desire to treat Xuan Yue and Ah Dai to the al.
Xuan Yue sighed, "Alright, since you’re so devoted, we won’t be courteous. Let’s go, brother." Xuan Yue initiated her prepared Teleportation Magic, light enveloping her and Ah Dai’s bodies, and they vanished into thin air under the astonished gazes of the crowd.
"God, this must be the manifestation of the Sky God!" All the people in the restaurant knelt down, reciting prayer charms devoutly.
A businessman leaned into the restaurant owner and whispered, "Bro, we have been acquaintances for a long ti. Could you perhaps let have the item bestowed upon you by the priest? I will offer a high price."
The owner gave him a wary look and quickly put the golden spoon in his bosom. He shook his head firmly and said, "No, this was bestowed upon by the priest, how could I transfer it? It would be a blasphemy against the Sky God."
The surrounding diners, who had been thinking of buying the golden spoon, had no choice but to suppress their desires. How could they dare to defy the will of the divine deity, having witnessed such a miracle? The golden spoon Xuan Yue gave to the owner was genuine and she had indeed sealed a small amount of sacred aura in it - it held a certain function, making it the simplest kind of sacred artifact. Later, when the restaurant owner went to the Sacrificial Hall in the city to pray, the priest there identified it for him and told him that the Holy Energy within it was the purest he had ever seen. The golden spoon’s value shot up and beca a treasure of Mimu City, sothing Xuan Yue hadn’t even expected.
Xuan Yue and Ah Dai were teleported thirty ters away from the restaurant by the Teleportation magic. Xuan Yue smiled and said, "How was that? Brother, didn’t that solve everything?"
With Ah Dai’s discerning eyes, he had naturally seen what Xuan Yue had done and frowned, "Can the energy one seals into an object really be worth that much?"
"Of course. Otherwise, how could I have ordered so much good food? Big brother, don’t forget, after all, mages are a minority on this continent and holy light mages of my level are even rarer. I actually gave him a bargain, if he’d sold that spoon, I estimate it’d fetch thousands of gold coins."
Ah Dai had a thought, "So we could sell goods in the future to ensure a stable inco."
Xuan Yue shook her head, "That’s not good, if these kinds of items appear too frequently, they won’t be valuable anymore. Also, grandfather would scold when we get back. What I did just now not only helped us get our al for free but also spread the faith of the Sky God, a win-win situation. But, using holy power for personal gain is blasphemous. I could never do that." Her belief in the Sky God was already perating her body and mind after the divine baptism.
Ah Dai thought to himself, wasn’t he a disciple of Master Goris? He knew much more about refining artifacts than Xuan Yue. She might be reluctant to use divine power to refine artifacts, but wouldn’t that be alright for him? He was confident he could manage so simple artifacts and his Life Giving True Qi also had holy properties. If they don’t have a source of inco in the future, he can try her thod. At least they’ll be assured of food and clothing. He had quite a few of Goris’s masterpieces on him already, but those were Goris’s legacy, how could he sell them?
Xuan Yue and Ah Dai successfully found their way to the rcenary Guild Branch located in the middle of Mimu City. Since Mimu City itself was not large, the scale of the rcenary Guild here was naturally much smaller. Only a few rcenaries were coming and going. From their aura, Ah Dai could clearly feel how weak they were.
